SHARP ELBOWS.NET: October 2010

The Weekly Standard writes:This past spring, a conservative blogger asked Democratic congressman Phil Hare at a townhall meeting in Quincy, Illinois about the constitutionality of the controversial health care legislation. “I don’t worry about the Constitution on this, to be honest,” Hare said.
This was the point that the race to represent Illinois’s 17th Congressional District in Washington began to get national attention.

And while not long ago the 17th Congressional District was still considered a long shot, that’s all changed. A recent poll released by the Hill shows Schilling with as much as a seven-point lead; Real Clear Politics has upgraded this race to “Lean GOP.”

In light of the St. Louis NAACP's own racism issues, I was surprised to find out that they planned to hold a press conference to attack the TEA Party as racist...again.

The same chapter of the NAACP that uses racial slurs in their press conferences, preaching to the city whose TEA Party leads the way in policing itself. Irony.

I attended this press conference in order to confront the hypocrites in the St. Louis NAACP. I was met with evasion, half truths and flat out lies...then they kicked me out of the press conference for covering it.

(More people turned out to cover the press conference – including black conservatives – than were there on behalf of the press conference itself.)
